Bonnie Hall, M. Couns.

Couples

I offer couples’ counselling services for a wide range of concerns, including:

Beginning a relationship/pre-marital counselling

Communication

Trust

Intimacy

Conflict

Distance and loneliness

Parenting and extended family issues

Feeling stuck in dysfunctional patterns of relating

Cross-cultural marriage

Ending a relationship/separation

Couples’ counselling can help you:

Learn to communicate effectively even when discussing difficult topics

Gain insight into how family of origin relationships might shape patterns of relating in your relationship as a couple

Build a sense of trust

Deepen intimacy

Establish a sense of connection and understanding

De-escalate conflict

Renew a sense of fun and pleasure in your relationship

Navigate the dance between autonomy and togetherness

Couples counselling sessions may be attended by one or both partners. If you are struggling in your relationship and your partner is unwilling to come to therapy, there is still much you can accomplish in attending sessions alone.
